Overview
About Me
Born in Russia but living in Spain since I was 4, so I could say I feel more Spanish than Russian.
During my Erasmus year in Leicester I found out my passion for travelling and
discovering the world, specially on my own.
I really enjoy meeting new people, experiencing new cultures and learning new things.
I always try to be positive, and you'll always see me with a smile (even though I can be a bit shy at the beginning).
"Life has 2 rules: #1 Never quit, #2 Always remember rule #1."
"Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn."
"Smile today, cry tomorrow (read this everyday)."
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Saving money on accomodation while meeting new, local and interesting people sounds like an amazing way of travelling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Actually, the first time I was travelling alone was at the age of 16. I went to Malta to improve my English and stayed with a host family. Now I realise that experience helped me to not be afraid of being alone anywhere in the world and meeting new people.
I know it's nothing "incredible", but I still have plenty of time and dreams that I hope I'll accomplish one day.
Saw all the spots in Denmark (Copenhagen), Sweden (Malmö and Gothenburg) and Norway (Oslo) in 7 days although on the 3rd day my feet got swollen and had 5 blisters on them, so the rest of the week I suffered a lot but still managed to visit all the places I wanted hahahaha!!
Went for an 8km night ride on a sledge in Tirol. That was real fun, unforgettable!
